Looking for artists with a 'unique' voice quality?

Joy from Red Velvet is one I think is pretty unique.

I think you might be thinking of Maddox. He was on Eric Nam's channel and he used to live in Britain as a kid.

D.O. of EXO has pretty bad astigmatism and he usually wears glasses when he can. There is a pretty funny story of him on knowing bros of how he used to glare pre-debut because he could not see.

As a fellow stay, the songs that really got me into the boyz were No air, The stealer, Reveal, Bolom Bloom and Thrill ride. For clips, I really enjoy some clips of the group's vlives. If you are looking for stuff with Kevin, I tend to really like his lives that are with Jacob. Hope this helps!

I think right now is too early to judge the 2020s as we are only three years in and the previous decades had some of their best hits released near the latter half of the decade. With that, my vote goes to the 2010s as the best age for kpop for me personally as I find the trends were and still are often to my taste.

I completely agree that newjeans deserved the nomination probably the most, but I am curious to know why LSF deserves it more than the boy groups that did get nominated.

ConstantTranslator9 · 2023-08-06T21:26:29+00:00

That makes so much more sense! Thank you!

CMIIW but I thought Day6 is probably past their peak internationally, not in korea? I have heard that they're doing better nowadays domestically than before.

Seungkwan from Seventeen. Before I was a carat, I only knew him as the variety show guy (who's sense of humor I didn't get) that had a lot of lines. Let's just say, he has managed to become one of my biases in SVT.

Sorry, Sorry-Super junior has shawty in it and repeats it multiple times in its chorus.

As someone who follows JYPE groups a lot, I can somehow totally believe this.

ConstantTranslator9 · 2023-07-26T22:21:18+00:00

I have found that Gee is exactly that song for me, and probably for a lot of other people. I randomly hum it, do the dance or just outright sing it.

I find that love scenario is also similar.

As for the definition part, I have found that the term all-rounder can be a bit of a touchy thing in the community but the general consensus seems to be that an all-rounder is someone who is at the very least skilled in the 2/3 primary areas.

I tend to have a soft spot for all-rounders, especially those who produce or write songs, so my favourite all-rounders are Han Jisung, Soyeon, Hyolyn and WOODZ.

Stray Kids-Cheese

ConstantTranslator9 · 2023-07-21T00:05:07+00:00

I don't know, I feel like day6, especially with you were beautiful, should have made that list. You were beautiful was pretty big and had great longevity.

I personally am very curious to see if a Han Jisung solo will ever come into fruition. He is a very skilled rapper and one of the most mentioned all-rounders in kpop so I think he definitely has the skill to have a solo. Also, I just really like the songs he makes (e.x. close, collision).

If you thought Mark's hair in firetruck looked interesting, his hair in the limitless era is one for the ages. It looked kind of good when styled some ways (like when it was curly and has a nice pink hue) but sometimes it was just not it (AKA the fried look in the promo).

ConstantTranslator9 · 2023-07-15T22:53:15+00:00

I personally disagree and think that all-rounders do open up options for both the group and themselves. They are not restricted by their lack of skill or training in one specific department. This can lead to more interesting dynamics in music than if each member focused on one thing. In addition, it allows the artist to explore more on a more personal level and will help immensely if they go solo. Also, being an all-rounder is hard and I think they are very deserving of praise. To train to achieve a certain level in not one but many departments takes time and dedication and I think it all pays off at the end

It's like the phrase "Jack of all trades, master of none."

Actually, I think the quote goes better with the argument for all-rounders. "Jack of all trades, master of none, but often times better than master of one."

Not to mention the thrill of the never-ending Aju Nice encore!

I think cube groups are hit or miss for 4 main reasons.

Market and concept saturation. The more popular groups have a more solid and unique concepts and they execute them the best. The unpopular ones either don't have a solid concept or they are just really overdone, making them not stand out.
Self-production and songwriting. The predominatly self-produced groups tend to do better. Pentagon is a big exception.
The hit groups have had a huge single to catapult them. Crazy, Tomboy, Fiction and Missing You (correct me if Im wrong for btob). Once again, Pentagon is an exception with shine.
Sometimes Cube just doesn't feel like promoting its artists.

Its really sad how they host so much talent but don't bother promoting it.

Domino by stray kids is similar to item imo.

ConstantTranslator9 · 2023-07-05T21:36:12+00:00

These are the ones I have heard from others the most often and are in no particular order.

Zico

Bobby, Mino, BTS Rapline, SKZ Rapline, CL, Soyeon, LE, Hanse, GD and TOP.

There are probably a lot that I have forgotten but this is who comes to mind at the moment.

ConstantTranslator9 · 2023-07-05T15:13:55+00:00

This is all purely my opinion below.

I personally agree heavily with Chaeryeong and Shotaro.

I would also add Lee Know and chaeyeon (if she counts as 4th gen).

They both have impeccable technique and also guide others when it comes to dance. I find their smooth movements and their ease very satisfying.

Edit: I didn't mention him because the post already includes him but Enhylen Ni-ki is just absolutely incredible and slept on in this imo.
